Depends on which church really, and what their tradition is. I know of some churches that are seeker churches that are very Evangelical and really want people to be saved (i.e. that is still their primary focus). That isn’t to say some churches haven’t reversed the positions of what’s most important. On its face, it’s not a bad thing to be seeker friendly, is it? It simply means you’re recognizing people in their various needs and looking to meet them there.
The Apostle Paul said in Phil 1: 15-18, “15It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely...But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”
That is not to say that those churches that are not stressing Biblical salvation, don’t need to change, because I think they do.
